Hi shippers! Welcome to Bonus Round 2.
Round Robin Fanadventures generated so much awesome stuff last year that we decided to bring it back!

For those who are new to HSO, this is not actually that complicated a concept, but it might be a little tricky to explain, so bear with me. The point of this round is to create a bunch of fanadventures that are for a team other than your own.

Rules

If you are starting a new adventure: start a new thread using the title format defined below. Include either text or 1-2 pieces of embedded art setting a scene (or both!), and finish with a command (==> does not count as a command for new threads). Then sit back and wait for someone else to contribute!
If you are continuing an adventure: find a thread that does not center around your team's ship. Then comment using the title format defined below. Include either text or 1-2 pieces of embedded art continuing the scene (or both!), and finish with a command (this can include ==>, though generally we would prefer otherwise). Then sit back and wait for someone else to contribute!
For ease of reading, we suggest using standardized image sizes. 600x400 landscape is a pretty good size! But as long as it's the same as the other images in the thread, people will have an easier time following along. The HTML for inserting images is <img src="http://yourimageurlhere.com">
For this challenge, there is no minimum wordcount. We are trusting you not to abuse that fact!
You may not comment twice in a row in one adventure. The point is to hand off the scene like a hot potato.
You may not introduce or create for your team's ship into a fanadventure. If someone else introduces your team's ship to a thread, you can still contribute to that thread so long as your contributions do not involve your ship.
This challenge will run until 11:59PM EDT July 7. After that time, even if it's just by a minute according to the LJ timestamp, no submissions will be accepted for points.

NOTES:

Audio posts are fine, so long as you include a transcript.
Please make sure to check that your titles are correct!
You may answer commands that have already been answered. Think of it like a 'choose your own adventure' game!

Title Format
If you are starting a new thread, use this format in your title.

Replace [THEIR SHIP] with the ship you want this particular fanadventure thread to be. Remember that you cannot create a fanadventure based on your own ship. Whatever ship you choose must be represented by a HSO team not your own. The only exception is gen adventures, which are permitted.
Replace [YOUR SHIP] with the name of the team YOU belong to; please use the characters and quadrant, not whatever portmanteau or nickname you've come up with. If your team name is not in this format and in the title it may not be counted.

If you are continuing a thread, use this format in your title.

Replace [COMMAND] with whatever command the previous fill has specified.
Replace [YOUR SHIP] with the name of the team YOU belong to; please use the characters and quadrant, not whatever portmanteau or nickname you've come up with.
If your title is not in this format it may not be counted.

Posts not using this format in the title will be understood to be unofficial discussion posts, no matter what they contain. They, like all comments on the comm, are subject to the Wank Policy.

Scoring
(as stated here)
First 5 entries per team: 30 (per entry)
Entries 6-10: 20 (per entry)
Entries 11-15: 10 (per entry)
Entries 16+: 5 (per entry)

All fanadventure content must be created new for this round.

We would prefer that any questions about this challenge or anything else in the HSO be emailed to us at homestuck.shipping AT gmail!

Congratulations, you are now Dave and Karkat and you have started fighting yet once again as John hissed at you.

TG: wow nice going there oh great leader how about you fix it now
CG: IT'S YOUR CRAP, YOU FIX IT, NOOKSTAIN.

Unfortunately, they cannot help John because they cannot help even themselves.

John: Flip your shit.

You can not flip your shit, your shit has already been flipped! What do you do with a small alien who was your girlfriend, but now that would be so illegal? What do you? How do you fix it? Why won't Dave and Karkat stop arguing all the time? You really need some help, but who could help you? Wait, weren't Terezi and Vriska friends at one point?

> Select: Jade and Terezi.

You are now Jade and—

oh my god John’s tiny girlfriend is so cuuuute!

You slap your hands on both sides of you face and coo. Because. It is a fact that tiny adorable Vriska is adorable!

You say so.

“Adorabloodthirsty”, Terezi mutters under her breath.

>You are now Terezi

And you can smell the distinctive smell of a much younger Vriska, like she hasn’t washed in a while. And given the way your human friends are reacting, it must not show, but you can smell the dry blood of a lot of trolls clinging to her.

Maybe the humans don’t realize, but a younger Vriska means a much more bloody Vriska.

>Terezi: Avoid thinking about past friendships by running damage control

"I'm Terezi," you say to Vriska, and she nods without recognition. She's sizing you up as if deciding if she could take you, and it's making it very hard to stick to your intention not to think about the past! Very, very hard.

"Are you happy to go with this alien? He's one of my allies, and I can assure you he's pretty nice, even if he is a big goof."

She smiles at that, downright 8rilliantly. "I can tell!" Nepeta would probably squeal to find out that Vriska already seems to have a little flushcrush on John.

"He is also pretty powerful, so I am also trusting him to keep an eye on you." You aim that partially at John. "But all my allies here are willing to have you stick around for now."

Little Vriska's smile changes as she looks around at everyone else. She's sizing them up too, and already she's good at not letting herself show she's afraid. "Scoot!" you order, making shooing motions with your hands. They scoot.

"And now!" You whirl around to turn on the two fighting knights. "We are going to think very very carefully about how to reverse this!"

Select: John & Vriska

> Vriska: Enter the alien hive.
